1 Introduction Ericsson�s RBS 3000 family contains a wide range of WCDMA RBSs with best-in-class radio performance for a variety of applications in urban, suburban, and rural environments. The products include unique radio features that enable significant cost savings by reducing the number of sites. The design base uses standardized modules for flexible installation and simplified maintenance, which in turn minimizes the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

All RBS 3000 products can be integrated seamlessly with existing networks, enabling effective co-siting with GSM for optimized capital and operational expenditure. Thanks to their full support for HSPA, the RBS 3000 family have given mobile broadband networks: increased peak data rates, reduced latency, and increased capacity.

The Ericsson RBS 3000 family is naturally future-proof to secure operator's investments, providing an evolutionary path through HSPA, HSPA evolution and LTE over time.

1.1 The RBS 3018 � a Member of the RBS 3000 Family

GSM operators look for ways to maximize the reuse of their GSM investment when adding a WCDMA network. The basic idea is that more reuse reduces the cost of the additional investment. Co-siting, ie installing WCDMA base stations on GSM base station sites, saves the substantial cost of deploying new sites.

Cost-effective co-siting pushes reuse further, aiming to avoid rebuilding the GSM site when deploying WCDMA. This is achieved by reusing the site infrastructure, ie the mechanical structures needed to support and protect the site equipment, cabling and its surroundings such as foundations, cable runs and towers. The more additional equipment and cabling that needs to be deployed, the more likely it is that the site infrastructure must be upgraded, in other words, rebuilt. Furthermore, there is a significant cost for the additional equipment itself.

The RBS 2106 is a single cabinet housing both GSM and a large amount of site equipment. By collecting GSM, AC/DC power converters, batteries, transmission, environmental protection & security into a single cabinet, all of these items can be located on a single foundation with a less cluttered visual impact than multiple enclosures, one for each separate item. At the same time, the 2106 cabinet is space optimized to be smaller than a shelter, which also collects and protects multiple items in one enclosure.

The operator may add an RBS 3106 to a 2106 site, with WCDMA and its site equipment contained in a similar but separate cabinet to the 2106. However, not all sites have infrastructure which can easily accommodate an extra cabinet of this size, and there may be zoning restrictions, ie regulations preventing additional cabinets on the site and/or landlords either not allowing or requiring significant additional rent for an additional cabinet. Even when there is space available, the operator may want to use or reserve this space to expand GSM on the site by deploying an additional 2106 cabinet.

5

RBS 3018 offers a new solution to the need for cost-effective co-siting on 2106 sites. RBS 3018 is a collection of standard RBS 3000 modules, together with mechanical adaptors, DC/DC converters and cables, allowing the modules to fit optimally into the space available in the GSM 2106 cabinet.

On many sites, the 2106 cabinet is not fully equipped with transceivers. Here, the entire RBS 3018 fits inside the 2106 cabinet, with no extra visual impact and no need to rebuild the site. Cost-effective co-siting has been achieved, providing considerable savings compared to the alternative of a half-equipped 2106 cabinet and a separate WCDMA cabinet.

When the 2106 cabinet is fully equipped with GSM transceivers, RBS 3018 is deployed with only the Main Unit inside the 2106 cabinet, together with RRUs outside the 2106 cabinet. While this has some visual impact, the impact is less than deploying a complete stand-alone Main-Remote solution since the Main Unit, its power supply and battery back-up, its environmental protection and security and the transmission interface are inside the 2106 cabinet. The RRUs are mounted on the antenna system structure or a wall or pole, avoiding the need for additional footprint.

Continued GSM traffic growth is accommodated by first filling the GSM cabinet with transceivers, then deploying additional GSM cabinets with extra transceivers. Even with RBS 3018 deployed inside the 2106 cabinet, further GSM expansion is still possible with an additional cabinet. By deploying RBS 3018, the operator has avoided the additional cabinet until the GSM expansion is actually required. In effect, the operator�s original purchase of a GSM 2106 cabinet can be used not only for GSM traffic growth, but for traffic growth: GSM or WCDMA.

Naturally the RBS 3018 is an ideal carry-to-site product, with the heaviest unit being the RRU.

RBS 3018 can be configured for up to three sectors with 1�2 carriers per sector and supports the most common combinations of WCDMA and GSM frequency bands: WCDMA 2100 or 900 MHz together with GSM 900 or 1800 MHz; and WCDMA 17/2100 or 1900 or 850 MHz with GSM 1900 or 800 MHz. RBS 3018 also supports output power classes up to 40 W per Radio Unit (RU) and up to 60 W per Remote Radio Unit (RRU).

2 Architecture

2.1 GSM and WCDMA The name RBS 3018 refers to a WCDMA RBS (Node-B) which is installed partly or completely inside a GSM RBS 2106. RBS 3018 is itself a WCDMA RBS (Node-B), and will operate as a Macro RBS with the specified performance and functionality in the same outdoors environment as GSM RBS 2106, assuming it is correctly installed inside the GSM RBS 2106. The GSM part of the combined installation retains its name RBS 2106 and continues to operate as a normal GSM RBS 2106. Hence, after the installation is performed, there are two co-located RBSes:

• one GSM RBS (RBS 2106) • one WCDMA RBS (RBS 3018)

There are three versions of the RBS 2106 available, normally called RBS 2106, RBS 2106i and RBS 2106v3. The RBS 3018 is supported in all three versions and for convenience all are referred to as RBS 2106 in this document, unless specifically indicated as being otherwise. Further information about the RBS 2106 can be found in the RBS 2106 Product Description.

The GSM RBS controls the climate unit, power supply, batteries and provides external alarms. Normally, the GSM transceiver temperature controls the climate cooling, and as long as at least one GSM transceiver has a BCCH operating at 40dBm, then there will be enough cooling for WCDMA for all configurations and loads. There is an optional feature in BSS SW 07A allowing OMT to increase the minimum fan speed in the cabinet, in order to avoid this BCCH cooling constraint.

2.2 SW and OSS-RC

Each base station has its own separate SW. The GSM RBS 2106 uses GSM RBS SW with the standard A-bis interface to the GSM BSC, and interface to OSS-RC. The WCDMA RBS 3018 uses WCDMA RBS SW with the standard Iub interface to the WCDMA RNC, and Mub interface to OSS-RC. The GSM SW and WCDMA SW are completely independent of each other and may be upgraded separately.

The earliest WCDMA RAN SW supporting RBS 3018 is P5, with some configurations supported later (please refer to the RBS 3018 Product Package Description for details). The earliest OSS-RC supporting RBS 3018 is OSS-RC 4.1.

8

2.3 The Three Versions of RBS 3018 RBS 3018 comes in three versions, allowing for the wide variety of RBS 2106 configurations, with their corresponding amounts of available space inside the cabinet.

The most integrated version is called 3018-Max, where the 2106 cabinet can house GSM, the complete RBS 3018, batteries, transmission and AC/DC power supply. It requires the more compact GSM CDU-K.

The 3018-More version includes both GSM and a complete RBS 3018, transmission and AC/DC supply. There is no space for internal batteries but CDU-K is not required.

The 3018-Min version is ideal when the 2106 cabinet is fully equipped with GSM transceivers (dTRU). The RBS 3018 radio is then located outside the cabinet in Remote Radio Units, with only the WCDMA Main Unit inside the 2106 cabinet.

2.3.1 3018-Max (Single 2106 Cabinet)

Figure 1 3018-Max (3x1 or 3x2) completely installed inside a GSM RBS 2106 (3x2). Radio Units are placed beside dTRUs, while Filter Units are placed beside CDU-Ks. The Main Unit, internal batteries and transmission are located in the battery/ transmission subrack.

9

2.3.2 3018-Max (Three Cabinet Configurations)

To meet high GSM capacity, multiple 2106 cabinets may be joined together to form a single base station, using the TG-synch feature. When three cabinets are used, a common configuration is one cabinet per sector, in order to simplify the antenna system configuration. 3018-Max is in this case configured in the same way.

Figure 2 3018-Max (3x1 or 3x2) with one sector in each cabinet. GSM is a 3x10 (10+10+10) configuration.

When 3018-Max is configured with radio equipment in more than one cabinet, longer cables between the Main Unit and the Radio Unit are required. It is also a requirement that an RU and its FU belonging to the same sector must be in the same cabinet.

2.3.4 3018-More

3018-More is always installed in a single 2106 cabinet, all other GSM cabinets on the site are used only for GSM.

Figure 4 3018-More completely installed inside a GSM RBS 2106. Radio Units are placed beside dTRUs, while Filter Units are located together with the Main Unit and transmission in the battery/ transmission subracks.

12

2.3.5 3018-Min

While 3018-Min is the only solution when the 2106 cabinet is fully equipped with transceivers, it may be also used even if the 2106 cabinet is not fully equipped with transceivers, for example if GSM expansion is imminent, ie more GSM transceivers will soon be added.

Figure 5 3018-Min (3x1 or 3x2), with the Main Unit inside the GSM RBS 2106 and

RRUs outside. The 2106 may be fully equipped with GSM transceivers, however in the figure it is partially equipped (3x2).

2.3.6 Multi-Cabinet Solutions with all Versions of RBS 3018

It is possible to install any of the RBS 3018 versions in a single 2106 cabinet and still have other 2106 cabinets exclusively used for GSM. The maximum number of 2106 cabinets supported by GSM is theoretically 11 (128 TRXes),

In a multi-cabinet situation, cabinets containing GSM only may be of other types, eg RBS 2116 or RBS 2102, using the TG-synch feature.

2.4 Power Supply for the RBS 3018

There are +24 VDC to -48 VDC converters in the Main Unit and RU cassette, and each FU takes its power via a cable from its RU. Hence, 3018-Max and 3018-More can reuse the existing 2106 power supply infrastructure including input connections (ACCU or DCCU), fuses, circuit breakers, GSM AC/DC rectifiers (PSUs), batteries (internal or external), battery charging & control, and power distribution HW.

13

For 3018-Min, the Main Unit uses the 2106 power supply infrastructure. The RRUs are powered externally, and Ericsson�s PBC-02 is recommended for this purpose. The RRUs are not powered from the 2106 cabinet for three reasons: EMC issues with power cables entering the cabinet, no space inside the cabinet for DC/DC converters for the RRUs, too little remaining capacity in the GSM AC/DC power converters to support all six dTRUs while retaining battery charging times and PSU redundancy.

Power is supplied to the Main Unit from the IDM via a new, specially designed cable, together with a circuit breaker which is attached to the IDM. Note that power is not taken from the optional DC/DC converter in the RBS 2106, as this is still needed to power transmission equipment.

2.5 Ordering and delivery

RBS 3018 is delivered as a package to be installed in an existing RBS 2106. In most cases, an operator will first have installed GSM at the site and then wishes to deploy WCDMA at a later date. However, it is possible to deploy a new RBS 2106 and RBS 3018 at the same time. Here, RBS 2106 and RBS 3018 are ordered separately, and delivered in separate packages to retain the flexibility in the supply chain. RBS 3018 can be installed in the new RBS 2106 at site, or at some other convenient location for the customer.

While RBS 3018 uses Plug-in Modules from the RBS 3000 family, it is not possible to buy bits and pieces and assemble a complete RBS 3018. In particular it is not sufficient to purchase a RBS 3418 and use it as a 3018-Min. Not only are specific power connection cables and EMC protection lids required, but there are also some restrictions on the available RBS 3418 product packages which cannot be used in 3018-Min. For 3018-Max and 3018-More there are specific cassettes and cables which cannot be ordered via sector expansions or spare parts for other RBS 3000 products.

14

3 RBS 3018 Modules and GSM HW RBS 3018 contains standard modules from the RBS 3000 family, plus mechanical adaptors, DC/DC converters and cables to allow it to be installed inside the 2106 cabinet. In addition, some standard GSM modules are required to prepare the 2106 cabinet to accommodate RBS 3018.

3.1 Main Unit

The Main Unit is a specially configured RBS 3418 Main Unit. The +24 VDC option is used to match the internal 2106 cabinet power supply. It contains a DC/DC converter as the boards within the Main Unit use -48 VDC. For 3018-Max and 3018-More the Main Unit uses an RUIF board to interface the RUs. For 3018-Min the OBIF board interfaces the RRUs.

Incoming transmission is connected directly to the CBU and/or ETB, no extra connection field is possible. External alarms are fed via the GSM DXU, not the RBS 3018.

Several boards are located in the MU providing the Iub and Mub interfaces, a main processor, baseband and radio interfaces.

Figure 6 The Main Unit

15

The following sections contain brief descriptions of the boards located in the MU.

3.1.1 Fan Unit

The fan unit cools the Main Unit. The fan speed is monitored internally, and an alarm is issued if it drops below a set level.

Number of units: 1

3.1.2 Control Base Unit

The Control Base Unit (CBU) is the central control unit of the RBS. It executes the main part of the control functions in the RBS and controls the boards via the board processors. The CBU contains a high capacity switch and interfaces to the other units in the MU as well as power filtering.

Four E1/T1/J1 transport network ports are provided by the CBU.

Number of units: 1

3.1.3 Transmitter Boards

The baseband Transmitter Boards (TXBs) are fully HSDPA capable and available with different Channel Element (CE) capacities.

The TXB consists of the baseband TX part, taking care of the following: cell splitting, channel combining, encoding, modulation and spreading as well as handling transport channels.

Number of units: 1�2

3.1.4 Random Access and Receiver Boards

The baseband Random Access and Receiver Boards (RAXBs) consist of the baseband Receiver (RX) part and handles cell combination for softer handover, decoding, RAKE receiving, and searching as well as dedicated and random access transport channels.

All available boards are fully Enhanced Uplink (EUL) compatible, with versions that support 10 ms or 2 and 10 ms Transmit Time Interval (TTI).

Number of units: 1�4

16

3.1.5 Optical Radio Unit Interface

The Optical Radio Unit Interface (OBIF) board provides the optical interfaces where the optical fiber cables from RRUs are connected to the Main Unit.

The OBIF is only used in a 3018-Min configuration with RRUs.

Number of units: 0�1

3.1.6 Radio Unit Interface

The Radio Unit Interface (RUIF) board contains point-to-point connections through cables to the RUs. The RUIF is only used in 3018-Max and 3018-More. Number of units: 0�1

3.1.7 Exchange Terminal Board

The Exchange Terminal Boards (ETBs) provide optional transport network connection ports. The use of ETBs is optional since the CBU already provides for the most common transport network connectivity requirements. The type of ETB can be chosen for different transmission standards and speeds. It is possible to equip the cabinet with transmission standards such as: E1/J1/T1, E3/J3/T3, STM-1 (channelized and non-channelized) and Ethernet.

Number of units: 0�1

17

3.2 Radio Hardware

3.2.1 Radio Units

The RU handles signal clipping and Digital to Analogue (D/A) conversion and modulation, and RF amplification for the Transmitter (TX) path. It also handles Analogue to Digital (A/D) conversion and filtering for the Receiver (RX) path. One RU can support one or more cell-carriers, both RX and TX, depending on the type of RU. The RUs are only used for the 3018-Max and 3018-More versions. Number of units: 1�3

3.2.2 Filter Units

The FU contains the Radio Frequency (RF) parts such as RF filters, Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) and splitters. A duplex filter connects both RX and TX to a common antenna. The duplex filter minimizes the number of required feeders and antennas. The FU also supports Antenna System Controller (ASC) and Wideband Tower Mounted Amplifier (WTMA). The FUs are only used for the 3018-Max and 3018-More versions. Number of units: 1�3

3.2.3 Remote Radio Units

The RRU contain all radio hardware in a small outdoor cabinet. Each RRU is installed near the antenna, either mounted on wall, pole or in a tower. This maximizes the radio performance as the feeder loss will be minimized. The RRUs are connected to the MU through optical fiber cables. The length between the MU and an RRU can be as long as up to 15 km.

Different types of RRUs are available to suit different needs, with output power options up to 60 W, for very large coverage and high capacity requirements. It is possible to mix different RRU types in the same configuration.

The RRUs contain most of the radio processing hardware. The main parts of the RRU are the:

• Filter

• TRX

• Power Amplifier

• Optical Interface

18

The power and optical link connections are located at the bottom of the RRU. The RRU must be installed vertically in order for the temperature range to be valid.

RRUs are used only for the 3018-Min configuration.

Number of units: 1�3

3.3 Mechanical adaptors 3.3.1 RU Cassette

The RU is smaller than the GSM dTRU (double Transceiver Unit). An RU cassette is used to hold the RU firmly in place inside the larger dTRU slot. At the back of the RU cassette there is a DC/DC converter which plugs into the +24 VDC power outlet normally used by the dTRU. From the DC/DC converter a cable runs to the front of the RU to provide it with -48 VDC power.

The RU cassette is used for 3018-Max and 3018-More.

3.3.2 FU Cassette

The FU is smaller than the GSM CDU-K. An FU cassette is used to hold the FU firmly in place inside the larger CDU-K slot.

The RU cassette is used for 3018-Max.

3.3.3 FU Subrack

In 3018-More the FUs are placed horizontally in the battery shelf. An FU subrack is used to hold the FUs firmly in place.

3.3.4 Cover Lids

A special lid to allow up to 12 feeders or 6 feeders plus optical cables to interface the connection field at the bottom of the cabinet is required for RBS 3018.

3.4 GSM modules 3.4.1 CDU-K

CDU-Ks are used to make space for Filter Units when 3018-Max is used. Normally one CDU-K is used to replace a CDU-G for each Filter Unit installed.

19

3.4.2 GSM PSU

The 2106 and 2106i cabinets house up to four 1200W AC to +24 VDC GSM PSUs. In the 2106v3 cabinet, up to three 1500W AC to +24 VDC GSM PSUs are possible. When adding 3018-Max or 3018-More, it may be necessary to add an additional PSU to cope with the increased power supply. Note however that an RBS 2106 with RBS 3018 installed consumes roughly the same amount of power as a fully equipped RBS 2106.

3.5 Optional Units

The following equipment is optional. The products are designed to enhance site performance but are not necessary for basic RBS functions.

3.5.1 Battery Backup Options

3018-Max and 3018-More always share the battery backup solution with RBS 2106. 3018-More uses all the battery space inside the RBS 2106 cabinet, in this case only external battery backup solutions are possible. RBS 3018-Max may use external battery backup solutions or up to 200 Ah (one subrack) of internal batteries. The Main Unit in 3018-Min shares batteries with GSM similarly to 3018-Max, while the RRUs must be supplied with power including battery backup externally, for example via a PBC-02.

The Battery Base-frame Unit, the BBU 9500i, can provide up to 680 Ah battery back-up. On many sites this is already installed, conveniently located under the cabinet.

The flexible specified Battery Backup System (BBS) 8500 can serve up to three RBS cabinets even with different power supply voltages. On some sites this is already installed, located next to the cabinet.

3.5.2 Transmission Equipment Options

Even with RBS 3018 installed there is space remaining for transmission equipment. With internal batteries there is only at most 2U of space in the transmission equipment, however this is sufficient for standard equipment such as MiniLink TN 2p and SIU (ethernet). Some types of equipment can be integrated into the OXU slots. More details are in the configurations chapter.

Note that OVPs are required for some types of transmission and the 2106 cabinet OVPs are used.

20

3.5.3 Antenna System Controller

The Antenna System Controller (ASC) is a double dual duplex Tower Mounted Amplifier (ddTMA) unit available for the 2100 MHz frequency band. This is used on the receiving paths in order to lower the overall receiver noise figure. It is also possible to use the same feeder to receive and transmit signals. Only one ASC per sector is needed. It also has an interface for RET support.

Key features:

• Contains 4 duplex filters

• Control platform for alarm handling

• Contains 2 LNAs with remotely controlled adjustable gain

• 115 kbps serial communication transceiver for feeder

• RET interface

3.5.4 Tower Mounted Amplifier

There are a wide range of TMAs with standard (12dB) gain. Single band ddTMAs exist for the 900, 1900, 17/2100 and 850 MHz frequency bands. Dual band TMAs exist for 850/1900. Variants of these have a Iuant (AISG2.0) interface for RET support. Normally, one single band TMA is required per sector while two dual band TMAs are needed per sector.

3.5.5 Wideband Tower Mounted Amplifier

The Wideband TMA (WTMA) is a high gain ddTMA available for the 2100 MHz frequency band.

3.5.6 Remote Electrical Tilt

The RET function is used for optimization of the radio network performance, by enabling remote control of the vertical tilt angle of the antenna lobe. The operator can control the tilt via OSS-RC with the signals passing through the RBS and up the feeder cables to a converter near the antenna. The converter is either located in the ASC or TMA with RET interface, or in a Ret Interface Unit (RIU).

21

4 Applications RBS 2106 is deployed in a variety of outdoor applications. Anywhere there is a RBS 2106 is a potential application for RBS 3018. Some examples are presented below.

4.1 Rural Outdoor Site

Figure 7 Rural Outdoor Site

The RBS 3018 provides a cost-effective solution for rural sites where revenues are low due to few subscribers. The RBS 2106 is often half equipped, so 3018-Max (internal batteries) or 3018-More (external batteries) are low-cost solutions improving the business case for WCDMA rural coverage.

Battery backup is an important feature for rural applications when the power grid is unstable. The RBS 2106 can be configured for very long battery backup times with external battery backup solutions.

22

4.2 Metropolitan Rooftop Site

Figure 8 Metropolitan Rooftop Site

GSM capacity requirements in urban areas are often high, so existing 2106 cabinets may be fully equipped with GSM transceivers. Here 3018-Min is a suitable solution. It has fewer boxes than a stand-alone Main-Remote solution, reducing the visual impact. It is easy to carry-to-site, even up narrow stairwells. Its low weight reduces the need for additional strengthening of the rooftop.

23

4.3 Ground-Level Site

Figure 9 Ground-Level Site

The RBS 3018 can also be used where the RBS 2106 is located at ground level, below a building or between two buildings.

On some sites, mainly in cities, traffic use is so high that more than one RBS 2106 cabinet is installed. 3018-Max may be used in a RBS 2106 multi-cabinet site, simplifying the antenna system configuration. 3018-Max will be expandable to 6 RUs in the future, so both high GSM and high WCDMA capacity can be supported.

24

5 Configurations The optimal RBS 3018 configuration depends upon the starting GSM RBS 2106 configuration. Key characteristics include

• The number of dTRUs in the GSM cabinet

• The antenna system configuration

• The preferred transmission and battery backup solution

• Operator preference for integrated or Main-Remote solutions

5.1 Radio Configurations The current available radio configurations for the RBS 3018 are shown in the sections below. The constraints on the configurations are that at most, three RUs or three RRUs are possible.

5.2 Allowed Combinations of GSM, WCDMA and Site Equipment

5.2.1 Frequency Bands

While the RBS 2106 supports the 1900, 1800, 900 and 850 MHz frequency bands, there is a correlation between the allowed GSM bands and WCDMA bands in different countries. Therefore, only a subset of all possible frequency combinations is needed. The table below describes which combinations that are allowed.

Frequency Bands for RBS 2106 Available Frequency Bands for RBS 3018

GSM, 800 MHz 1900, 1700/2100 and 850 MHz

E-GSM, 900 MHz 900 and 2100 MHz

P-GSM, 900 MHz 900 and 2100 MHz

GSM, 1800 MHz 900 and 2100 MHz

GSM, 1900 MHz 1900, 1700/2100 and 850 MHz

5.2.2 Number of dTRUs in the RBS 2106 Cabinet

Each RU in the 3018-Max or 3018-More versions occupies one dTRU slot. Each RBS 2106 cabinet has space for 6 dTRUs. The maximum number of dTRUs is then equal to six times the number of 2106 cabinets, minus one for each RU.

5.2.3 Allowed GSM Radio Configurations

There are some constraints on the allowed combinations of GSM radio configurations and RBS 3018 configurations. The main restriction is that there is sufficient space for both GSM and WCDMA in the cabinet. Hence configurations with six full size CDUs that use space in the battery and transmission subrack do not allow RBS 3018 to be used. Note also that CDU-F cannot be replaced by CDU-K without re-configuration of the GSM RBS and antenna system and it would alter radio performance.

5.2.4 Allowed Configurations in the Battery/Transmission Space

The battery and transmission space supports equipment up to 13 U (approximately 58.8 cm) in height. The width and depth are corresponding to a standard 19-inch subrack. This space is shared between transmission equipment, internal batteries and parts of the RBS 3018. The table below describes the height of these alternatives to help dimension how much equipment may be installed in the 2106 cabinet. Note that in a multi-cabinet 2106 site, there is 13 U of space available in each cabinet, allowing for more internal batteries and transmission equipment.

6.5 Power Consumption

The power consumption figures shown in this section refer to normal operation during traffic. Typical power consumption values are based on a realistic, typical traffic distribution that corresponds to an average output power of 40%. High-load power consumption values corresponds to 100% of maximum output power, which is attainable for heavy HSDPA traffic. The configurations in the table below are minimally equipped with baseband.

2100 MHz 40 W 0.8 kW 1.3 kW (1) Minimum equipped (2) New RU versions will be released during 2008 with lower power consumption

AC/DC conversion losses in the 2106 PSUs and the external power supply for the RRUs are not included. These normally add 12-15% to the total power consumption of RBS 3018.

Additional power consumption occurs due to the 2106 climate unit operating at a higher level. This value varies significantly with temperature, but a rough estimate is on average a 20% increase in the total power consumption of 3018-Max and 3018-More, and 3-5% for 3018-Min.

The power consumption due to the resistance in the power cable to the RRU depends upon the thickness and length of the cable. Note that, since the current in the power cable to the RRU is normally quite small, the power consumption is quite small. For example, for a 30m copper cable of thickness 2x2mm2, the power consumption is typically 5-10W per cable, which means that for 3018-Min 3x1, the total power consumption is increased by 15-30W.

A fully equipped Main Unit (2 TX, 4 RAX and 1 ETB) adds roughly 160W to the above values.
